What HP TET is
HP TET is the eligibility test for teaching posts (TGT and JBT) in schools across Himachal Pradesh. Passing the test makes a candidate eligible to apply for teacher recruitment; it is not itself a job appointment. Each paper lasts 2 hours 30 minutes.
Candidates should download their admit card from hpbose.org once it is released, and check the exam centre and reporting time printed on it. Reach the centre early, carry a valid photo ID along with the admit card, and follow the instructions in the official prospectus.
